Veterans, including Marine vet Joe Aaron, center, react after the National Anthem before the start of the “22, with 22, for the 22” on Saturday, September 26, 2015. “22, with 22, for the 22” is a grassroots concept uniting combat veterans who hike 22km, while carrying 22kg (48lbs), to raise awareness of, and prevent, the 22 veteran suicides every day. Adding humor to the mix, the veterans hike wearing only their “silkies,” minuscule, green physical training shorts made famous by the Marines. The event helps build support and camaraderie between vets to help create support networks to combat PTSD. DEBORAH CANNON / AMERICAN-STATESMAN

A car crashed onto the Capitol grounds early Wednesday morning. At 3:30 am, APD tried pull over a Dodge Charger. The vehicle took off. Then the vehicle was stopped by DPS and again took off. A moment or two later, the car plowed through the fence and stones at the Capitol, went a few hundred feet and crashed into a tree. The driver then fled on foot. The female passenger stayed in the car. The driver was caught at 13th and Navasota with help of apd tracking dogs and charged with evading arrest. He is a Hispanic male in his late 20’s.
